Arizona CDL Hazmat — What to Expect

In Arizona, the CDL Hazmat (H) endorsement is issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD). The Hazmat knowledge test is taken at an ADOT MVD office or authorized third-party provider, and the TSA fingerprint-based threat assessment is done through IdentoGO.

The knowledge test has 30 questions and requires an 80% passing score — at least 24 correct. The exam is based on the federal FMCSA regulations under 49 CFR, which are the same in all 50 states, so the study material does not change from state to state.

Before the H endorsement can be added to your Arizona CDL, you must pass a TSA Security Threat Assessment (background check), about $86.50, at an authorized enrollment center — processing takes 2–4 weeks, so apply early.

Endorsement fee: Varies — confirm with ADOT MVD. Retake wait: Varies by office.
